Connecticut Contractor Data Collection System
As part of a multi-year contract, CJI has recently begun working with the
Court Support Services Division (CSSD) of the State of Connecticut's Judicial Branch to expand their Contractor Data Collection System (CDCS) and enhance their ability to use empirical evidence to support data-driven decision-making. Through the implementation of the CDCS, the Court Support Services Division has begun a collaborative initiative to collect treatment data on probation clients from their providers. CJI will assist CSSD in identifying, prioritizing, interpreting and reporting measures to monitor and document their progress. CJI's role in the expansion of this initiative will include facilitating the statewide roll-out of the database to all providers, as well as the provision of technical assistance on how to analyze, interpret and use the information collected on a regular basis.
